Save Money with Our Free Reminder App

The saying that “we are living in a material world” is more true now than ever. Indeed, many of us are drowning in stuff. From backpacks and tablets to keys and baby gear, the list of things we carry around with us in our daily lives is a lengthy one. Unfortunately, it’s just as easy to lose many of these things as it is to acquire them.

But what if we told you there was a way to stop leaving your stuff behind, and save money in the process? You’ve come to the right place — our problem-solving reminder app Don’t Leave It! can help! Here’s a closer look at the high cost of lost stuff, along with how our location-based reminder app can help you come out ahead.

Breaking Down the Cost of Lost Stuff

According to one report, the average person loses at least one item a year (1.24 items, to be exact) with an average replacement cost of more than $200. Multiplied across the US adult population of more than 242.4 million people and the total annual cost of lost items comes to more than $6 billion. Even worse? The vast majority of these lost belongings are never recovered.

Now factor in that in our digital age, the majority of people have lost or left behind data storage devices containing personal data (which leaves them even more vulnerable if they eventually end up in the wrong hands), and the potential toll of lost stuff becomes even more momentous.

And while the temptation can be strong to write off lost items to theft, the truth is that more than 80 percent of lost belongings is attributed to individual forgetfulness or distraction, not crime. This is one of the reasons why lost items spike during peak hours and in concentrated areas: the busier you and your surrounding environment are, the more likely you are to lose an item, and incur the associated replacement costs.
